To find out how much money you will get back, you can follow these steps:
-
Determine the total amount spent: You have the total for the pizza and donut, which is $22.34.
-
Identify the amount given: You gave the cashier $25.00.
-
Calculate the change: To find out how much change you will receive, subtract the total spent from the amount you gave. The formula looks like this:
\[ \text{Change} = \text{Amount Given} - \text{Total Spent} \]
-
Plug in the values:
\[ \text{Change} = 25.00 - 22.34 \]
-
Perform the subtraction:
-
First, align the numbers by their decimal points: \[ \begin{array}{r} 25.00 \
-
22.34 \ \hline \end{array} \]
-
Subtract starting from the rightmost digit:
- In the hundredths place: \(0 - 4\) → borrow 1, making it \(10 - 4 = 6\)
- In the tenths place: \(0 - 3\) → borrow 1, making it \(9 - 3 = 6\) (you borrowed 1 from the 5, making it 4)
- In the ones place: \(4 - 2 = 2\)
- In the tens place: \(2 - 2 = 0\)
Putting it all together, you get:
\[ \begin{array}{r} 25.00 \
- 22.34 \ \hline 2.66 \ \end{array} \]
-
-
Conclusion: The change you will get back is $2.66.
